Residents in Phibsborough have been handed a major victory after An Bord Pleanala withdrew from a judicial review on plans for 207 apartments on the Royal Canal.
The Cross Guns campaign was launched by the Shandon Residents Association and Leinster Street North Residents Association over the last two years over plans for "Royal Canal Towers". It would have seen 207 apartments in buildings between four and 12 stories high.
The site it would have been built on is locally known as the Old Bakery site. A judicial review was funded by locals after concerns were raised about the build-to-rent development.
